Tiny echo!

More teeth. That's all. I'm on the 0.43 3/8 Stihl bar and chain. I like that combo because I can sharpen it with the regular 4mm file. With less teeth I'm also able to use a longer bar without exhausting the clutch.

And how does it control in the cut with the 3/8? It must be a lot easier to sharpen..

 

Im sure I've seen 1/4 inch pitch chains on the husky pole pruner, would they be 0.5 gauge then Rob?

Have you tried the 1/4 .043 chain Wolter? Yes you need a smaller file but the cut is very fast and clean.

 

It is more fiddly to sharpen though.

Yep 1/4 .050 I would imagine - and the 1/4 .050 is a completely different beast to the 1/4 .043.

 

Stihl have nailed it with this chain IMO and have to take credit for it.

I might price up the 1/4 Stihl cutting gear and see how it compares to the Husqvarna 3/8 0.43. Would love to hear from anyone who has used both. Not having to change drive sprocket would be nice I guess, but in the long run I want what's best for this saw as it'll get a lot of use.

No I haven't Rob. My mate has the ms 150 with the 1/4 inch chain. That chain really rocks. But I like my saws to have at least a 30cm bar and still not clog up.

I love this 1/4 .43 setup. It is fiddly to sharpen but it only takes about 3 mins to do the whole 10 inch chain. It in my opinion is very safe to use and gives really clean cuts.

hows every one finding their new 2511 saw? when the 2510 came out everyone seemed to be raving about it but this thread has gone a bit quiet?

thanks carl

I'm enjoying mine, still have to sort out decent cutting equipment but otherwise no complaints
